My son's 2014 radio/nav doesnt work. Backup camera does. So from all my research it is clearly the logic board in the head unit. I see that there a few options basically to buy a new unit or a used unit. Carlink Life even sells just a used logic board. Found someone that can even fix it if you send it to them. All those options are more money than he has right now. Has anyone ever found what exactly needs to be done to fix this issue? Any videos?
 
Possible option?

From what it sounds like, any option will be a couple hundred clams.
With all due respect, if your son is on a budget, perhaps a Toyota would have been a better option? Anything Lexus will cost more than anything Toyota for parts and repair.
But I do see the attraction to Lexus. 🥰
 
Normally wouldnt be a big deal, but he is saving for an apartment and just bought new tires. And I am not sure what you mean on parts for Lexus vs Toyota. Basically every other part on this rig is the same price as Toyota. It is one specific part and clearly there is a way to fix it if there are people who are selling boards they fixed.....

That 2nd option is cheaper. Thank you.
 
I'm trying to remember if this only applies to 10-13 or 14-19 as well but there is a dependency in some scenarios where stock stereo still needs to be functional for aftermarket unit installation
